THE LEE WRIGHT.
This mine, which lies just northwest of
the Granite Mountain, has become the
property OF Albert Menger, one of the en-
gineers at the Parrot mine. His partners
in locating it failed to perform their part
of the assessment work necessary to be
done on all locations. Mr.. Menger had
the work performed as required by law and
advertised the fact that they had SO failed
or put up the necessary amount to cover
their share of the work in The MINER, and
thus became sole owner. Not long since
he hired a party of miners to go and devel-
op the mine in q spall way, and met with
such good results that upon the show
ing he made 4 company of St. Louis
capitalists bonded this mine for $4,000
and paid $4,000 down Immediately upon
the instrument being signed, balance in six
months. AL feels highly elated over his
good fortune and is to be congratulated by
his many friends here for his perseverance
and energy in prosecuting the development
OF the claim to success. even at the expense
OF personal sacrifices which, after all. is
the only way to reach success and is an ex-
ample to many men in this and adjoining
camps to follow.
In the. town of Elkhorn there is but one
mine working-that after which the town is
named. At present it is drowned out and
has suspended operations until the water
is mastered. The mine is now down to the
depth of 700 feet, and when in full work
ing order gives employment to eighty-fve
or ninety men. There are other prospects
in the ne%ighborhood, however, which are
being exploited, and as work is starting on
them the aspect of affairs in Elkhorn is a
little less gloomy than it was. The Elk
horn mine is the chief support of the place.
however, and hopes are rising from the
fact that a heavy pump has been received
from Helena, with which it is expected to
control the water. It is being put together
as rapidly as possible. The mine produces
both gold and silver. The
ELKHoRN QUEEN,
which is owned by Helena parties, is one of
the fifty prospects in that district. It com.
mences operations next week. Develop
ments will be pushed on it vigorously so as
to satisfy the owners whether there is any
thing in it or not. At the
AKE-UP JIM
a tunnel is being run through the mountain
to cut the shaft on q level with the Mon.
tana MO railroad in order to save In
necessary hosting and make the chutes
more handy to load into the cars.
